"The United States, our relationship is not always permanent. The Chinese are just consistent in that way," he said.

After what the U.S. government did to Zimbabwe, partnering with China is a no brainer.

Guaranteed the Democrats have their hands in all their pockets.

And Brazil

Children are mining for those EVs as fast as they can, Greta.

Take a look at what you’ve done.

Lithium mine

At least it’s not China.

Just like the fed well behind the curve

Mumbo jumbo

The Chinese have made tremendous inroads in securing strategic energy minerals and metals while the USA's main focus has been democracy and human rights.

China has infiltrated American institutions and have corrupted the majority of our politicians. They steal our technology military secrets etc. we have fallen behind because there isn’t anyone in charge with the balls to put a stop to it.

Not only lithium industry... what do you think about the $.

Not Chinese investment. only Leaders will benefit much than Zimbabweans. after being corrupt by Chinese firm. they pay less Salary's .poor works.low quality working tools. Chinese experts who working at site import their food's.cant even buy food from food vendor's os supplies

TIRED OF YOUR BULLSHIT PROPAGANDA! you’re are CNN of the stock market , enjoy losing viewership 🤡

Didn’t Iran just announce discovery of a large lithium deposit inside their borders?

My hope is that this does not turn out to be another resource-curse in Sub-saharan Africa. Progressive political leadership and zero corruption needed to reap max benefits for Zimbabweans.

Rethorical question.

Africa is falling behind in humanitarian mining of Lithium.

worldwide better say

Here we go again with CNBC propaganda, just like LNG was going to run out in Europe and now prices have crashed 2200% from highs. $140 to $6. OUCH!!! LITHIUM is the 33rd MOST ABUNDANT ELEMENT. The US is home to the WORLD LARGEST LITHIUM DEPOSITS after South America Triangle.
